Answer:

a) vavg = 16.59 m/s

b) vrms= 26.42 m/s

c) the most probable speed is the average speed = 16.59 m/s  (since the is no particle with 16.59 m/s → 16m/s is the most probable speed observed)

Explanation:

a) the average velocity will be

vavg =( 1/total number of particles )*∑ velocity * number of particles  

= (2*11 + 4*16 + 4*22 +3*25 + 6*31  + 1*34 + 2*41)/ (2 + 4 + 4 +3 + 6 + 1 + 2) = 16.59 m/s

b) the root mean squared speed (rms) will be

vrms=√[( 1/total number of particles )*∑ velocity² * number of particles] =   √[ (2*11² + 4*16² + 4*22² +3*25² + 6*31²  + 1*34² + 2*41²)/ (2 + 4 + 4 +3 + 6 + 1 + 2)]  = 26.42 m/s

c) if any particle is chosen at random then the probability of choosing that particle will be the given be the fraction of particles over the total , and thus the expected speed (most probable speed ) will be the average speed = 16.59 m/s ( since the is no particle with 16.59 m/s → 16m/s is the most probable speed observed)

What is the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each plate if the electric field in the region between the plates
34kurt

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance C_{0} = 8.50 pF when there is air between the plates. The separation between the plates is 1.00 mm.

What is the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each plate if the electric field in the region between the plates is not to exceed 3.00 \times 10^{4} V/m?

Explanation:

It is known that relation between electric field and the voltage is as follows.

             V = Ed

Now,  

              Q = CV

or,           Q = C \times Ed

Therefore, substitute the values into the above formula as follows.

              Q = C \times Ed

                  = 8.50 pF \times (\frac{10^{-12} F}{1 pF})(3 \times 10^{4} m/s)(1 mm)(\frac{10^{-3} m}{1 mm})

                  = 2.55 \times 10^{-10} C

Hence, we can conclude that the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each given plate is 2.55 \times 10^{-10} C.

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Elis [28]
A. Parallel circuit

Short circuits are circuits that is like plugging in a USB into your computer and the other end to your iPhone, so it's not D.

Series circuits can come in all kinds of different shapes, so it's not C.

Open circuits are circuits that are opened, meaning that whenever you turn on the light and it's an open circuit, it won't work cause the two wires are not connected, meaning it's not D.

Parallel circuits are circuits that are in one straight line, just like parallel lines, meaning the answer would be A. (Look at the picture and don't get confused with the other question that's the same question and has the same answers, they both have different pictures, so look at the pictures they give you whenever they ask the question so your getting the right answer)

Hope this helped.
